Fort Worth police said the clearing of ice is a two-step process. First the plows will scrape the main roadway and then they will come back to clear on and off ramps of the built up ice and snow.

It's a sight every driver was happy to see.

"It does give me a little relief," Chad Marcum, of Fort Worth, said. "I've been out a little this morning, does seem about 10 times better than the last few days."

And, Marcum would know, as two days ago another driver forced him to spin out and hit a wall along Interstate 30, although he wasn't hurt and his truck didn't suffer much damage either. Since then, he's done as authorities have asked everyone to do.

"I've been off the roads as much as possible," Marcum said. "I wouldn't be out now if I didn't have to get to work."

And with the help of the motor graders and the task force, that's something local road officials hope everyone will be able to do easily by Monday morning.

The task force plans on working on all of Tarrant County's main roads until 6 a.m. Monday, when they hope to be done.

There may be some road closures from time to time and TxDOT is asking drivers to stay off the roads until then. The major roadways being addressed are Interstates 20, 30, 35W and Loop 820.
